The biggest environmental issues affecting South America right now are deforestation, pollution, and over-use of pesticides. The deforestation is hitting Brazil the hardest. The rain forest is being cut down for lumber and animal habbits are being destroyed.
Population in Central and South America is becoming a big problem as well because resources are being used and lost and places are getting overpopulated, adding to the pollution.
